Vanantwerp Posted September 10, 2010 #1 Posted September 10, 2010 Need to replace my grips. Dont like the ISO grips they feel to large. They want 51.00 for the rh side and 23.00 for the lh side. Didnt know if somebody had some that they had changed and wanted to sell them. If they are not wore out like mine. Have over 53,000 miles and looking to get another 53,000.
Guest scarylarry Posted September 10, 2010 #2 Posted September 10, 2010 Do search here and there are some foam grips that might be cheaper I have felt of a set on a bike and they feel great, to the point I will be putting a set on soon...
Freebird Posted September 10, 2010 #3 Posted September 10, 2010 I have the foam grips also and love them. I tried a set of the KuryAkyn grips for one trip and that was enough for me. Yamaha used to sell foam grips for the RoadStar but I think they discontinued them. That is what I have on mine.
t_hole Posted September 10, 2010 #4 Posted September 10, 2010 Did you modify the Kurys to keep the bar weights on with them? I have been wanting to get a set of ISO grips perhaps we can swap?
Vanantwerp Posted September 10, 2010 Author #5 Posted September 10, 2010 I have not bought them. A friend of mine has them on his bike. I did have the foam grips on a old Honda 750 that I started riding as my frist street bike. They didnt last that long.Maybe the foam is better now that was about 15 years age.
Freebird Posted September 10, 2010 #6 Posted September 10, 2010 Well, like I said, I don't think that Yamaha offers the ones that I have any longer but they have been on my bike for about 10 years and still look about as good as new.
Vanantwerp Posted September 10, 2010 Author #7 Posted September 10, 2010 So if I find something to fit the roadstar. They will work on the venture? It only makes sense that it would.If the bars are the same size. Also tried Pinwall,but theirs all come with the RH control and look like mine already. I will just keep looking. Thanks for the post.
Freebird Posted September 10, 2010 #8 Posted September 10, 2010 Well...ALMOST. The Roadstar grips are a tad longer. I don't remember exactly how much but they have to be trimmed a bit.
Vanantwerp Posted September 10, 2010 Author #9 Posted September 10, 2010 Are Grips 7/8" or 1" ? I made a GPS holder for the bars at 1" dia. and that worked fine. But didnt know if they are the same size at the grips.
Colonel Posted September 16, 2010 #10 Posted September 16, 2010 I have a set of stock grips. came off of my 09 about 6 months after buying the bike if you are still looking for some.
